Great advice.... Them chickens get hungry and they will eat...... I'm sure everything will be fine.
If there is any scabbing or open sores on those "pecked butts" you might want to cover then with something.
Hopefully someone can tell you what's best to dress the wounds with as I've never had that problem...... But I know if there is an open wounds at all they will keep pecking at it.

Welcome and oh so sweet problems...a big coop/run that just needs a little bit of tweeking and chickens trying to adapt to their new home and to get you sized up. When they are sure that their new humans are a friendly sort, they will emerge to check you out and to begin your training. Seems as if they haven't had much human contact...from a chicken's perspective, adding a human to their flock is scary.

Good morning, and welcome to BYC. As has previously been stated - chickens hate change. Give them time. They should be fine.
